General description

Nephrin is strongly expressed in renal glomeruli and is a member of the immunoglobulin family of cell adhesion molecules. It is a 1241-residue transmembrane protein. Mutations in the Nephrin gene result in congenital nephrotic syndrome, an autosomalrecessive disorder characterized by massive proteinuria in utero and nephrosis at birth. Renal glomeruli allow normal kidneys to filter plasma so that it is very pure. Nephrin is expressed in the podocyte slit-diaphragm of the renal glomeruli in a manner that suggests that Nephrin molecules homodimerize in an anti-parallel fashion similar to cadherin interactions in adherens junctions. Thus, Nephrin may constitute the entire extracellular structure of the slit-diaphragm.

Immunogen

Nephrin antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human
Nephrin. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of Nephrin.

Linkage

The action of this antibody can be blocked using blocking peptide SBP2265.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide
